Remember my post for Cinnamon Graham Overnight Oats that I shared with you all a few weeks ago? I created the concoction using my Cinnamon Graham Steel Cut Oats from MyOatmeal.com, which they graciously sent me a little while ago.
Yay for free oatmeal, especially when it is oatmeal that I personally created!
As I mentioned in my last past, MyOatmeal is a company that enables you to create your own personalized oatmeal. You simply choose your type of oats, add in your favorite flavor and/or sweetener, and select additional add-ins (nuts, seeds, fruit), if desired. I love my Cinnamon Graham Steel Cut Oats creation, but I REALLY love my other variety that I built: Raisin Carrot Cake Oatmeal, which contains multi-grain oats, flax, carrot cake flavoring, and dark raisins.
This is what I made with my personalized Raisin Carrot Cake Oatmeal:
Please try to tell me that this does not look totally amazing. Seriously, you can’t. And if you tasted it you would absolutely agree with me!
Banana Pumpkin Breakfast Cookie with Raisin Carrot Cake Oatmeal
Servings: Makes 1 cookie
Ingredients
1 banana, cut in half
1 1/2 TB canned pumpkin
2/3 cups of oats (I used my Raisin Carrot Cake Oatmeal, but you could use plain)
1 packet Truvia, or other natural sweetener or sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp chia seeds (I used milled chia seeds)
1/8 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
nut butter, optional
Directions
1. Mash half of banana in medium bowl.
2. Add remainder of the ingredients and stir until well-combined.
3. Scoop the mixture onto a plate and flatten with a spatula into the shape of a large cookie.
4. Wrap the plate with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
5. In the morning, remove the plastic wrap, cut up the remaining half of the banana to put on top (I kept mine in a sealed baggie overnight), and top with your favorite nut butter, if desired. I chose peanut butter!
Are you drooling yet? Because I am. This was SO good. I seriously cannot wait to make it again for breakfast this coming week.
Like I mentioned above, you can use regular oatmeal, but I must say that the addition of the carrot cake flavoring and the raisins was divine. I am really enjoying coming up with all sorts of breakfast creations to make with my MyOatmeal oats!
It may not officially be Fall, but I am in full on pumpkin mode. You can definitely expect to see plenty more where that came from!

Love all the different combinations of oatmeal!!
They seriously have some GREAT combos!
Oh yum!!!! I am bummed that I just ate lunch because now I totally want one of these and have all of the ingredients 🙁 Good thing there is tomorrow’s breakfast!
You HAVE to make this for tomorrow. It is seriously SO good and so perfect for pre-Fall. Let me know if you try it!
Omg, yum! Love it!
It really is super good!
This is right up my alley, love bananas and peanut butter!
ME TOO!! I said that the nut butter is optional, but let’s be real…it makes it!
Raisin carrot cake oatmeal sounds perfect!
It is delicious!! I was really happy with the combination that I created.
Oh my gawsh! This looks amazing and I have been looking for new oat recipes… thanks a bunches 😉
You’re welcome! I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do!
This looks amazing. Oh how I am now going to get into fall mode too. Thanks. I will bust out my first can of pumpkin tomorrow morning, so I can enjoy some pumpkin oats.
Yay for all things pumpkin!
I’m seriously drooling right now! This looks incredible!
It really is good!! Probably even better than it looks! 😉
Um, yeah. I am drooling. It sounds so yummy and I love how easy it is to make!
SO easy!! It makes for a super quick breakfast!
Thank God I JUST had oatmeal for breakfast! Though I wouldn’t mind adding this as a second round, looks delish!
This is definitely a super fun and yummy way to eat your oatmeal!
Carrot cake oatmeal? OMG Yum I wish we could get that oatmeal here. That breakfast cookie sounds great too.
You should try making it with regular oatmeal and maybe just adding in some extra cinnamon and pumpkin spice..I bet it’d taste good!
That’s a good idea!
I love breakfast cookies! This sounds delicious – especially with the pumpkin! And carrot cake oatmeal? yum!
It was a GREAT combo! I cannot wait to make it again.
That custom oatmeal sounds like the best idea ever! And I love eating oats in the form of a cookie–yum!!
This was my first time making a cookie with oats…definitely won’t be the last!
I saw this on FB and I’m definitely drooling!! What a perfect fall creation!
It was REALLY tasty! You’ll have to try it out and let me know what you think!
Looks tasty! I love the concept of MyOatmeal. It reminds me of buying out of the bulk bins at Whole Foods. There’s just something about knowing you created the product you’re eating.
Isn’t it so fun?? I absolutely love it!
Oh this sounds wonderful and easy!! It sounds like a super simple breakfast to make the night before and doesn’t even require cooking. Carrot cake oats sound awesome all on there own too!
This is SUCH a simple breakfast recipe…which, of course, are the best kind! 😉
Full pumpkin mode is where I’m at, too 🙂 Although it’s hard for me to let go of summer! Loving the carrot cake flavoring in this oatmeal.
I was loving Summer, but now I am ready for some Fall weather…and of course all things pumpkin!
I need this ASAP! Thanks for giving me something new to try/love 🙂
You’re welcome!! Please let me know what you think :).
Oh my goodness! I have got to make this asap! This is totally my kind of breakfast! Where did you find the raisin carrot cake oatmeal?
Ooop…never mind….answered my own question! 😉 Can’t wait to check out My Oatmeal’s website.
You should definitely check it out! I am really enjoying their products.
This is probably what I would have picked! Yum!
It is GOOD!
Yum, this is my kind of breakfast! I love how basically anything can be created with oatmeal. I’m dying to break out the pumpkin (still have a can from last year) and will probably use it in something oat/breakfast -related.
Oatmeal (and pumpkin!) are simply amazing :).
Num! I love this idea! I always get into breakfast ruts where I make the same thing over and over each morning. This could definitely help keep me out of a rut!
I do too…so I was definitely LOVING this change!
wow, I thought this would be baked, but refrigerated is even better!
I LOVE my oats cold :).
I love overnight oats too! Now that its getting more fall-ish weather Ill prob eat them warm alot but cold is good too!
Made this today with a couple changes… I’ll tell you when I post the recipe! (linking back to yours, of course) 🙂
That is awesome and SO great to hear!! Thanks :).
